Mobile - Wireless Communications White Papers

Connection Software, Not Coffee, Inspires Developers and Brings "Battlebot" to Life

Overview The President of ASPSOFT couldn't wait to build the world's first "Battlebot" to be programmed with Microsoft .NET connection software. That vision became reality when ASPSOFT, a Microsoft Certified Partner, teamed with The Machine Lab to design and develop "The Finalizer." In less than two months, two developers wrote the code that runs the ferocious robot by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and other cutting-edge Microsoft technologies. The Finalizer - with its destructive rotary saw and axe - demonstrates how developers can use Microsoft .NET to communicate with and power machinery that can be controlled locally or over the Internet.
